416 Agreement, rejection, assistant

"Callan Sangster? Do you really know Percival? How did you do that?"

"Time turner? You actually have a time turner?"

"I have no idea of ​​a time turner - by the way, how can your time turner be so powerful? Can it span decades?"

"How about Percival, you ask? He is very good and has always been with me, just like my two brothers."

In the Room of Requirement, Karan didn't expect Ariana to have such a cheerful personality. She asked him so many questions in succession that even Remus couldn't hold on anymore - he was already asleep on the bed. , leaving the two of them to continue playing the wizard chess that Karan had prepared in advance.

Karan's chess skills have always been good, but he is still no match for Ariana, and he is often killed without leaving any trace of her in a short time.

"I'm tired of playing these games a long time ago."

After winning another game, Ariana clapped her hands smartly and said: "You should know my situation. Albus has always felt guilty about this, so he will buy it for me no matter what I want. Now he and Aberforth is no match for me anymore."

"Are there any new and fun games?"

Ariana blinked and asked, "I don't want to go out in vain. It's not easy to hide it from Aberforth. Percival is keeping an eye on him for me."

Inexplicably, Ariana gave Karan a strange feeling all the time - she was like a playful otaku who finally had a chance to sneak out.

"Forehead......"

Karan hesitated for a while. He quickly rushed away the inexplicable thoughts in his mind and asked in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Then has the problem of Silence in you been really solved?"

Ariana lowered her head and rearranged the chess pieces - this was not easy to do, because all the chess pieces strongly demanded to be on Ariana's side, which made the chessboard in front of Karan look empty.

"It's the way it is now."

Ariana explained: "It's just that the Obscurus still shows signs of getting stronger, and Percival has to be reborn every time he swallows the Obscurus. Although it keeps comforting me that it doesn't hurt, I don't want to What more could I ask for - I mean, I've lived long enough as an Obscural, and I should be grateful."

Facing death may not sound like an easy thing to accept.

After getting the news that Percival really worked, Callan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At least this did not make the other Dumbledore's efforts in vain.

Then he habitually wanted to comfort Ariana, but Ariana immediately said impatiently: "I don't need your comfort. And have you forgotten my age? If it weren't for the fact that your body can't continue to grow, you The least you can do when you see me is call me - well, anyway, what I want to say is don't really think of me as a child, Albus and Aberforth always make this mistake."

Karan looked at Ariana speechlessly.

At this time, he finally understood how Harry Snape felt - this age-disordered experience was really ridiculous.

During the subsequent game of chess, Ariana also revealed the reason why she knew this secret passage - she had stayed in the Pig's Head Bar when Albus and Aberforth were digging the secret passage, and even He also became an obscurant and helped.

It wasn't until a fiery red feather suddenly appeared that Ariana stopped moving the chess pieces, preventing Karan from losing another game.

"Percival is telling me secretly. It seems that Aberforth has woken up and it's time for me to leave."

Ariana's tone was still free and unrestrained, her attitude was extremely decisive, and there was no trace of reluctance.

She finally said goodbye: "Don't play wizard chess next time. Let's find something more fun. You can also invite your friends."

Then Ariana transformed into the dark Obscurus again, slipped into the doorway and disappeared.

With Remus snoring slightly, Karan put the chess pieces away again.

Ariana's attitude was beyond his expectation, and the words he had prepared in advance were useless - perhaps because of Percival, Ariana inherently had a trace of trust in Karan, otherwise She wouldn't actually have saved a few people in second grade.

As for Ariana's character issue - although he doesn't know what she has experienced in these years, Karan feels that this is at least good news. He was still worried about meeting a timid little girl at first.

But thinking about it from another perspective, perhaps only in this way can Ariana successfully fight against Obscurus with the help of Percival.Because she showed a completely different personality from the Obscurus, otherwise the Obscurus would have become stronger much faster, and Karan would not have been able to really see Ariana.

"Hmm...? Then...is that girl gone?"

Remus was awakened by the sounds of resistance from the chess pieces. They wanted to have a master as a powerful chess player like Ariana.

Karan closed the box angrily, and then nodded and said, "Yes, she is gone, but we might meet her again in the future."

"correct,"

Karan asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "Do you want to go to Hogsmeade?"

"I mean the kind that sneaks over at night."

Remus stared at Callan blankly. He couldn't help but wipe his eyes hard. He always felt that he saw the shadow of the trouble-making James and Sirius in each other.

--------

After experiencing this night of full moon, Karan lived a peaceful life for a long time.Except for Lucius in Defense Against the Dark Arts, no one would give him any trouble.

But Lucius was not just looking for trouble for Callan alone. He had a very bad attitude towards almost all the students, even Slytherin House. Wanting to teach them how to learn the Patronus Charm was not an easy task. It was an easy task, and Lucius was even less competent than Meadows. He almost had the words "I don't want to be a teacher" on his forehead.

"Then why doesn't he just resign!"

After leaving the cold Room of Requirement classroom, Steve stuffed chocolate into his mouth and said angrily: "Don't he know that there is a curse on this position? I have never seen such an incompetent servant!" "

He deliberately said these words very loudly, and the people around him just shrugged and left after hearing this - this has long been the consensus of everyone. Lucius, a member of the Malfoy family who is a pure-blood supremacist, must definitely Will unconditionally support Voldemort's claims.

It's no wonder that Steve was so angry - in the class just now, Lucius gave him a good scolding and even brought Mr. Newt with him.

The glory gained by his father has always been a taboo in Steve's heart, which made him unable to extinguish the anger in his heart until he arrived at the divination class.

James, who was in class together, came over. He glanced at Steve curiously, wondering what could make him so angry.

"What's the matter?" Karan turned around and asked.

James patted Steve's shoulder comfortingly, and then lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that you plan to secretly go to Hogsmeade Village?"

Callan nodded, this must be what Remus told James.

"How about me? And Sirius."

James suggested with some excitement: "I have an idea. Since the Screaming Shack is abandoned, why not really try to turn it into a haunted house."

This idea sounded really bad. Not far away, Lily was staring at them suspiciously, as if she had understood that nothing good would happen.

"What a great idea!"

Karan said uncharacteristically, he was even more excited than James, stood up immediately, and held James' hands tightly as if he had reached a deal: "That's it, we'll see you there then! "

James returned to his seat, with a hint of confusion on his excited face.

Gaspard glanced at Karan lightly, and he said mockingly: "Congratulations, you finally found a scapegoat."

Steve finally calmed down at this time, and he added: "The scapegoat is not accurate, it should be called the scapegoat."

Karan stared at the two of them coldly. One of them quickly opened his school bag and the other opened the book, all avoiding Karan's sight.

Regarding Ariana's agreement, Karan thought it would be solved easily - his original plan was to find a few helpers like Remus, so that even if something unexpected happened to Ariana, Karan could perform it smoothly. The advanced spell was carried away by these helpers.

But what he didn't expect was that things didn't go smoothly on the first step - Remus rejected Callan's request because he didn't want to play with Ariana.

Forget it, after all, to Remus, Ariana is not as familiar as James and Sirius, and he has been trying to avoid breaking school rules, so naturally he is not willing to sneak into Hogmore with a stranger at night. Decun.

But several people who were looking for the magician actually rejected Karan's invitation!

Not a single one was left behind, all were rejected!

And all this is just because Karan used a few trivial words in his description of Ariana - dangerous, and out of control.

Karan originally thought this was nothing, after all, he had done more dangerous things before.

But Lily immediately screamed: "Even you think it's dangerous?!"

After hearing these words, Karan began to feel something bad in his heart.

Then Lily was the first to reject Karan's invitation, and the reason for her rejection was also quite hard-core: "Danger... I seem to remember that you only used this adjective on the mysterious person. If you insist on going, , then I can only hope that you can come back alive."

After seeing Lily's statement, Pandora was the second person to refuse.

"What's the point of not having Lily here?"

When she said this, Pandora was still hanging on Lily like a pendant.

Then came Snape, who also refused.

And while he was frowning and staring at Pandora's actions, he whispered to himself: "The third one... Why do I feel like I have lost."

Next came Steve and Guspard, who were the most determined in expressing their refusal. After all, they were Karan's roommates. Only by doing this could Karan's deceitful intentions be completely cut off.

The only people left were Mr. Lovegood Jr. and half of the magic seekers - Regulus.

They didn't refuse at first.

But this was just because little Lovegood was naturally curious about everything. As for Regulus...he felt that Karan, who was standing in a daze, looked a little pitiful and couldn't bear to refuse.

But before Callan could gratefully settle the matter, Steve immediately grabbed little Lovegood and whispered, "Are you crazy? Or are you saying you don't want to go to Bowtruckle Island with me anymore?" Don’t forget the big-mouthed pom-pom fish.”

Snape also grabbed Regulus, and he also warned in a low voice: "What are you trying to do? Think about your parents and your incompetent brother!"

Karan stared at Snape angrily: "Why do you say it as if I want to kill Regulus?!"

Snape replied coolly: "I don't see the difference."

In the end, Karan failed to kidnap anyone.

Fortunately, James, who was unfamiliar with him, stepped forward and even brought his good brother Sirius with him.

After Karan looked away from Steve and Gaspard, they looked at each other in tacit understanding, racking their brains to think of what words they could use to continue taunting Karan.

For the two of them, although Karan's magical talent has weakened, it is a great joy from another perspective - Steve no longer has to worry about the textbook suddenly calling him a face, Gespard's "Karan's Observation Diary" has gradually become much richer.

Fortunately, the professor's appearance interrupted them and prevented another fight in the Hufflepuff dormitory tonight.

Cassandra Seer is still the same as before. She has become extremely old. Professor Binns has become a ghost, but Cassandra Seer is still bound by the body and it is much more inconvenient to move - this It also reminded Karan of the first time he took the class on protecting artifact animals. He really didn't understand why Cassandra the Prophet had to enter the Forbidden Forest in person.

In addition to the professor, assistant Sybill Trelawney also appeared in the classroom, and she never missed a divination class.If the exam starts right away, maybe her grades will be better than everyone else in the class.

In addition, she is also the other person who accompanied Cassandra into the Forbidden Forest.

As soon as he saw Sybil, Karan couldn't help but think of her appearance in the world of Seven Hundred Horcruxes - even crazier than the original timeline, she had become a complete madman.

But even so, Sybil still made a savior prophecy related to Harry, and even the non-existent Karan was successfully divined by her.

Karan has always doubted whether ordinary prophets can do this. Now he knows only two things that can pass through the world's barriers - the Bent-Horned Snorlax and the dangerous and terrifying Taboo.

But Sybil in another world was the only one who did it.

What an incredible gift of divination.

Cassandra Prophet greeted the students, and with the indistinct words, a new divination class began.

"Today, we are going to learn about dream interpretation."
